Adafruit_MLX90614 and MAX30102 Not working

[fervidautomation]

Make your question, not a Statement, inclusive. Include all pertinent information:

What you are trying to do
I tried to use ESP32 wroom dev board and use Adafruit_MLX90614 and MAX30102 sensor on I2C communication. As you might know both works on I2C communication. but It did not work. Any piece of advice will be highly appreciated.

Describe your system (Hardware, computer, O/S, core version, environment)
ESP32 Wroom dev MLX90614 and MAX30102
Describe what is failing
MAX30102 provide the data but mlx does not. If I am using a separate-2 2 programs then It is working fine.Which is kind of indication that the wiring is correct.

simple SpO2 plotter for MH-ET LIVE MAX30102 breakout board and ESP32 devkit-C

Version 1.0

Shows SpO2 and the user's heart beat on Arduino's serial plotter.
No display hardware is required.
This program should not be used for medical purposes.
I wrote this to learn how SpO2 can be measured and pay tributes for the inventors.

Pulse oximetry was developed in 1972, by Takuo Aoyagi and Michio Kishi,
bioengineers, at Nihon Kohden in Japan.
https://ethw.org/Takuo_Aoyagi

Since MH-ET LIVE MAX30102 breakout board seems outputting IR and RED swapped.
red = particleSensor.getFIFOIR();
ir = particleSensor.getFIFORed();
is used in my code. If you have Sparkfun's MAX30105 breakout board , try to
use #define MAX30105

Tips:

SpO2 is calculated as R=((square root means or Red/Red average )/((square root means of IR)/IR average))
SpO2 = -23.3 * (R - 0.4) + 100;
// taken from a graph in https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/jp/AppNotes/00001525B_JP.pdf
// https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Appnotes/00001525B.pdf

Instructions:

0. Install Sparkfun's MAX3010X library
1. Load code onto ESP32 with MH-ET LIVE MAX30102 board
2. Put MAX30102 board in plastic bag and insulates from your finger.
   and attach sensor to your finger tip
3. Run this program by pressing reset botton on ESP32
4. Wait for 3 seconds and Open Arduino IDE Tools->'Serial Plotter'
   Make sure the drop down is set to 115200 baud
5. Search the best position and presure for the sensor by watching
   the blips on Arduino's serial plotter
   I recommend to place LED under the backside of nail and wrap you
   finger and the sensor by rubber band softly.
6. Checkout the SpO2 and blips by seeing serial Plotter
   100%,95%,90%,85% SpO2 lines are always drawn on the plotter

Hardware Connections (Breakoutboard to ESP32 Arduino):

-VIN = 3.3V
-GND = GND
-SDA = 21 (or SDA)
-SCL = 22 (or SCL)
-INT = Not connected

this script also works on Arduino nao

Hardware Connections (Breakoutboard to Arduino nano): experimental

-VIN = 3.3V
-GND = GND
-SDA = A4 (or SDA)
-SCL = A5 (or SCL)
-INT = Not connected

Trouble Shooting:

Make sure to solder jumper on 3V3 side.
if you forget this, I2C does not work and can not find MAX30102.
says "MAX30102 was not found. Please check wiring/power."
